Bachelor Geospatial Science Geospatial Analyst Geospatial Developer Major in Geospatial Science Diploma Geospatial Science Certificate Geospatial Science

a)Geospatial Developer Stream

“ I am interested in the data, how we capture it, how we assure its quality and in developing the databases and information systems we use to manage, manipulate and deliver it, both the data itself and as maps or visualisations”

b)Geospatial Analyst stream

"I am interested in applying geospatial science and technologies to perform geospatial analyses for problem‐solving, capturing data and communicating information through geovisualizations including web‐based maps."

c) Major in Geospatial Science

“I am interested in a career outside of geospatial science but I would like a good grounding in geospatial science to complement my chosen career.”

  • Provides students with a foundation of basic remote

sensing of the environment. Topics covered were satellite image and aerial photo acquisition, principles

  • f electromagnetic radiation, aerial photography and

photogrammetry, geometric and atmospheric correction, image enhancement with band ratio’s and digital image processing and classification.

  • Students acquired a hands on learning experience

through a variety of exercise conducted in the GIS lab
